Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 221 Crisis!

"Om-!"

Above the sky, terrifying holy might surged and spread like a tidal wave!

"Who is this powerful figure who has arrived!"

Gu Yang's hair stood on end, and his previous composure and smugness vanished!
He activated his battle qi, and the dazzling golden battle qi enveloped his entire body like armor, which brought him a little sense of security. Then, he stared intently at the sky. The sudden holy might was as heavy as a prison, much stronger than his own!
This situation set off alarm bells in Gu Yang's mind. The one who could exude such power was definitely not an ordinary Battle Saint!
He looked up at the sky and saw that dozens of dark spatial rifts suddenly appeared in the originally clear sky, and thirty figures walked out of them as if they were shattering a galaxy!
Each figure was surrounded by an undeniable aura of a saint, with various battle qi halos intertwined, like a floating sea of ​​stars. Their powerful aura spread out without any concealment, causing the entire world to tremble!

The leader was actually a child who looked no more than seven or eight years old!

The child, dressed in a faded white Taoist robe, with the hem fluttering gently in the air, stood on the back of a blue ox. The ox stood in the void, its hooves rising in wisps of cloud.

The child's right hand held a small, palm-sized, dark-colored tower. Although the tower was small, it seemed to contain immense power, surrounded by a dark aura that suppressed heaven and earth, as if it could crush mountains with a single throw!
"Ancestor Danta, it's you!"

Gu Yang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he secretly gasped.

Gu Yang had heard of the Central Continent Alliance founded by Danta, but he never expected that Danta would be able to recruit thirty Saints from the continent!
This force is already capable of challenging weaker imperial clans!

"Shh-"

Above the sky, thirty saintly figures moved simultaneously, landing between Xiao Yan and Gu Yang as if by teleportation. The invisible pressure of the saints intertwined to form a barrier, completely separating the two.

Ancestor Danta rode forward two steps on his green ox, his childlike voice clear and crisp, and shook his head: "Gu Yang, you're so old, yet you still covet the treasures of the younger generation. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed if word gets out?"

He gently stretched out his small hand holding the tower, and a gentle yet irresistible suction force burst forth.

The Emperor's Banner, which was suspended in mid-air, instantly broke free from the shackles of the ancient sheep's residual aura, transformed into a streak of purple-black light, and landed steadily in the hands of the Pill Tower Ancestor.

Gu Yang watched helplessly as the Emperor's Banner was taken away, his eyes wide with rage, and the golden battle aura around his body fluctuated violently with anger.

"Ancestor Danta! You dare to interfere in the affairs of my ancient clan? Do you wish to become an enemy of my ancient clan? You should think carefully about the consequences of being an enemy of my ancient clan!"

Ancestor Danta gently toyed with the banner pole of the Human Emperor Banner between his fingertips, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"To be an enemy of the ancient clans? I cannot bear such a crime. I was merely acting out of a sense of justice and could not stand by and watch you bully the weak."

After saying that, he turned to look at Xiao Yan beside him, handed him the Human Emperor Banner, and said in a gentle tone, "Little guy, here's your stuff."

"Thank you, senior!"

Xiao Yan quickly stepped forward, took the Emperor's Banner with both hands, and the moment his fingertips touched the banner pole, the huge weight that had been hanging in his heart finally lifted.

This Emperor Banner is not only a treasure bestowed by the Ancestor, but also a powerful weapon against the Soul Palace. It cannot be allowed to be taken away by Gu Yang.

Xiao Yan secretly kept in mind the kindness of the Pill Tower Ancestor's assistance.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the Pill Tower Ancestor again, and he sighed inwardly.

Although this senior was an incarnation of elixirs, he had a strong sense of righteousness towards humanity and worked tirelessly to protect the continent. Even the ancestor praised him highly.

Meeting him today, I found that not only is his cultivation unfathomable, but he also acts with integrity and uprightness. He truly lives up to his reputation!

"You're quite an interesting little thing."

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower lowered his gaze and stared at the banner in Xiao Yan's hand for a moment. A hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes: "To be able to control so many souls, no wonder Gu Yang was tempted by greed..." He paused for a moment, then shifted his gaze to Xiao Yan. When he touched the faint aura of strange fire flowing within Xiao Yan's body, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, as if he had discovered something interesting.

"Three Thousand Burning Flames, Fallen Heart Flame, Wind Fury Dragon Flame... You have gathered so many strange flames on your body. If an ordinary alchemist saw this, he would probably be green with envy."

"As expected of someone from the same clan as that Sword Emperor's successor, there's a reason he values ​​you so much."

Xiao Yan quickly cupped his hands in a fist salute and said sincerely, "It is my honor to be valued by the Ancestor."

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower nodded slightly and suddenly smiled and said, "You possess the Three Thousand Burning Flames, so you will be the champion of this year's Pill Gathering, right?"
"That brat Xuan Kongzi mentioned you to me before, saying that a young alchemist with exceptional talent has emerged in Zhongzhou. Seeing you today, I can confirm he's truly remarkable."

"Our ancestor had keen insight."

Xiao Yan responded respectfully.

Seeing the two chatting happily and ignoring him, Gu Yang felt a surge of anger rising in his chest.

He shouted angrily: "Ancestor Danta, since you know his identity, why do you dare to openly protect him? What are your intentions!"

"Do you really intend to become an enemy of my ancient clan for his sake?!"

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower turned to look at the ancient sheep, his expression calm: "I don't care what his identity is, I only know that he is a continental alchemist."

It's not that I want to be an enemy of the ancient races, but that you have ulterior motives and want to bully a mere alchemist from the mainland.

Danta cannot stand idly by.

"Sophistry!"

Gu Yang laughed in anger, his holy aura spreading uncontrollably, causing the surrounding space to buzz.

"No matter what excuse you make, what you did today was to stand up for Xiao Yan! If you dare to protect him, you are making an enemy of my ancient clan!"

"If you're willing to think that way, then so be it."

"Xiao Yan, the Pill Tower is saved."

The old ancestor of the Dan Tower responded calmly. The moment his voice fell, his aura suddenly erupted, and a holy might far greater than that of the ancient sheep swept out like a tsunami!

The holy might of the Ancestor Danta was like an overwhelming divine pressure, fiercely enveloping the ancient sheep.

Gu Yang was forced to retreat repeatedly by this terrifying holy power, his eyes filled with horror.

He was a five-star Dou Sheng, only one star lower than the Pill Tower Ancestor. But with that one small difference in realm, he could never be a match for the Pill Tower Ancestor!
Just as Gu Yang was being forced into a disadvantageous position, a loud shout suddenly came from the sky: "Ancestor of the Pill Tower, do not be so stubborn!"

Xiao Yan was startled and quickly looked up, only to see Yao Wangui leading four other Emperor Clan Dou Shengs as they flew through the air and landed beside Gu Yang.

The auras of the six Battle Saints erupted simultaneously, and six vast and distinct holy mights intertwined to form a terrifying energy curtain, instantly clashing with the pressure of the Pill Tower Ancestor!
The entire space of the ancient holy city was violently distorted by the collision of the two top-level forces, and even space itself seemed to freeze!
Yao Wangui said coldly, "Xiao Yan is a remnant of the Xiao clan and must not be let go. Even if your Pill Tower wants to protect him, you can't!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yao Wangui suddenly stretched out his large hand, and terrifying holy power condensed into a giant palm that blotted out the sky and the sun. With the power to tear everything apart, it fiercely grabbed at Xiao Yan!
